oh, thats a differnt idea of moving the firewall back then what I was thinking, I thought you were going to move the whole firewall back as 1 unit then your heater box and all would move back complete. doing it the way you cut it now, I am not sure how youll achieve that.

We put a BB in a '78 Monza stock front clip and it was a MAJOR pain in the a$$. The car is is drag strip only and we had to cut/bang,dimple,grind so many places. we almost gave up at one point the steering was exceptionally difficult, HKR hdrs fit poorly,have to use a remote oil filter mount, modified a new set of V8 front coils,put a rack and pinion in,has tubular upper control arms,you have to be a contortionist to change cyl # 7 spark plug,it runs really hot even with a super alum Griffin racing rad,.... and on and on ... (13 to 1 compression) Made the trans cross member TH400 and also has 9" Ford 4 link and rear tube chassis. It does run 9.60's though

Hooker big block Vega headers fit with the motor in the same location as the small block. They require a remote oil filter housing, the large tubes are so close to the oil pan they heat up the engine oil while driving on the street.

I picked up some 2nd gen Camaro BBC Headers at a swap meet for $25.00 and ordered some pre-bent tubing. It looks like the flange portion of the headers with upper pipes will be pretty simple. I will even be able to use a few of the stock flanged pipes in their entirety with out modifications. I will get some pictures posted soon.Milan

I have the 2X4 box tubing frame rails installed and mig welded inplace. I will be taking out the engine to finish the new mounts and tie the front end into the frame rails. The headers have been coming along nicely. I ordered some J pipes from the speedshop and have been tacking things together. I have decided I will use slip joints on a few if the header tubes to make servicing things a bit easier. I will try and upload pictures soon.Milan
